Phil's contributions on Data Wrangler were amazing! And if you haven't seen his Burrito tool, you should check that out too ;-)

Happy to see folks here are as excited as we are! Our founding team has put in many years of research on the kinds of problems we're now tackling commercially, including the stuff @pgbovine mentioned and more. Building beautifully useful data software is a major technical and design challenge. It's not just designing interfaces. It's not just building systems. It's not just modeling and inference. It's all three, and especially the way they interplay. Hence the name Trifacta.
If that sounds exciting to you, and you are interested in a well-funded, rational, early-stage data startup ... we're hiring. Based in SF, across the street from CalTrain. Drop us a line. [email protected]

See the sandbox at https://github.com/bloom-lang/bud-sandbox/ Some involved examples there (including a GFS clone).
